His account of Fremont&#39;s headquarters and his first meeting with him is great.<br /><br />ChrisChris Evansnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16471073.post-51062332190494087462012-06-02T18:37:31.861-07:002012-06-02T18:37:31.861-07:00Chris,

Wonderful book, and one that was badly needed to fill a critical gap in western theatre literature. I agree with you that the siege and occupation parts of the book fulfill the greatest need. <br /><br />Tim&#39;s extensive bibliography is amazing - in fact it reminded me of an Ed Bearss Chris Slocombenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16471073.post-89180969391998490332012-06-01T06:32:11.507-07:002012-06-01T06:32:11.507-07:00Hi Drew

His Champion Hill book is still one of my favorites. <br /><br />Although I think Cozzens&#39;s book on this subject is his best, I&#39;ve been eagerly awaiting this study. University of Kansas Press has published two very nice books this spring. I hope this is a continuing trend. Looking forward to your review of Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
